Encrypt a single .txt file

I need to be able to encrypt a single text file and keep it portable. The process would work like this. create the text file> encrypt it> upload it to a storage server. When ever the I need to access the file I just pull it down and decrypt it using the same utility.

opensource/freeware/commercial, it does't matter. It just needs to work.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
